Hundreds of years ago, when pirate ships roamed the endless expanses of the seas, pirates had the custom of pulling a tooth from the skull of a slain ship commander. The more the pirate had trophy teeth, the more terrible and majestic he was considered. It was also believed that the spirits of the defeated captains helped the ship to survive the most severe storms. Therefore, they were inlaid in weapons, armor, as well as in jewelry.
